What have they done to our Castlevania music??? I issued a challenge not long after starting the game -- would it be possible to find one good song in this game? Well... A few of them were OK, at best. In fact, the best music in the game is the classic one you hear when you play the post-game boss rush as secret character Simon Belmont! I've been told that Konami tried to blame the GBA hardware for the music, but since both Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow boast fantastic music, yeah, that excuse doesn't hold water.

Anyway, besides the music, Harmony of Dissonance is yet another metroidvania in the franchise. Hurray! (?) To be honest, at this point there's not much that's special about it. If you've played Symphony of the Night or Circle of the Moon before, this entry feels extremely similar. So I don't have much to say about the game at all. Oh yeah, one thing. You can find a bunch of furniture lying around to decorate Juste's room, which serves absolutely no purpose (save for a barely noticeable ending animation), but hey, if you want to play some Castlevania Crossing... this is as close as it gets!

The Japanese title, "Castlevania: Byakuya no Concerto", translates to, "Castlevania: Midnight Sun Concerto". Notice that for the first time in the franchise, even the Japanese title calls the game, "Castlevania" and not "Akumajou Dracula or Vampire 'something'".
